Fly Line:We recommend a 4, 5, or 6 weight, floating fly line for most of the fishing. Sinking, sinking tip and other type lines could be used for specific applications.

Fly Rod:You would want a fly rod to handle each of the above line sizes. The 4, 5 and 6 weight fly rods should be nine feet long. We would prefer a medium fast to fast action.

Fly Reel:The reels for the 4, 5 or 6 weight lines should have good drags. They should be smooth and adjust to fine increments.

Leaders:You should be using at least a seven foot leader. A nine foot length would probably be the best all around length. There are situations where 12 foot leaders may be needed. The only exception would be when you are fishing streamers. You may want a shorter leader in that case. You should have leaders in sizes ranging from 0X for streamers, up to 6X for small flies like small BWOs and midges.

Tippet:Carry extra tippet in sizes ranging from 0X to 6X.

Waders:Waders are necessary just about anywhere you fish the river. There are areas you could fish from the banks, but you would be at a disadvantage many places. We prefer the breathable type but you may need neoprene waders if you are fishing during the winter.

Wading Boots:Felt soles would be our choice.

Wading Staff:The use of a wading staff would be a purely optional accessory.

Landing Net:You certainly would want to consider a landing net. There are some nice size brown trout in the Sycan River.

Trout Flies:We recommend our "Perfect Fly" Flies. We have specific imitations of every important insect that hatches on the Sycan River and it has a wide variety of mayfly, stonefly, caddisfly and other aquatic insects. Its trout can be very selective especially in slow, smooth flowing water. Our flies are the most realistic and most effective imitations you can buy. If you haven't already done so, we hope you give them an opportunity to perform for you. You'll be glad you did.
